2. What has been your most memorable moment thus far?
Nick W. Even though I made some fun memories with my group as we pushed the envelope by leveling quickly and defeating challenging group content, the most memorable moment for me wasn’t anything that noteworthy. One time when adventuring in Avendyr’s Pass, my group got a very large and unexpected pull. With some quick thinking, teamwork, and communication, we were able to overcome all odds and survive, despite suffering a couple quick deaths. The rush I felt when challenged like that is something that is rarely felt in most modern MMOs. That’s the great thing about Pantheon; memorable moments are made with almost every play session. Even ordinary accomplishments and gameplay feel extremely satisfying.
Pauline M. The first time I logged in. I remember I just sat there and stared at the screen, taking in the view, listening to the sounds and watching all the happy players around me. I actually had some joyful tears form. I had to take a deep breath, ground myself…. and then I dove in.
Darran L. I would have to say that for me so far the most memorable moment would be on my first real venture into Halnir's Cave. We found the Perception trigger and picked up the key preparing for a battle. I noticed a crack in the floor with some mean looking Wraiths below us, they vanished! Next thing I knew Wraiths came around the corner to say hello to me and my group. Wipe after wipe I couldn't help but laugh. One of the devs was attempting to help us recover our corpses because there seemed to be an apparent issue with catching aggro through the floor. I bet we spent a good 30-45 minutes trying to get our gear back. But in my opinion, it's that kind of silliness that brings people together. After all, this is Pre-Alpha, I expect to find oddities like this.
Jason F. Well this might come off weird since it isn’t directly related to a playing experience in-game but rather due to a name of encounters. Recently playing we did a word jumble and the Gadai Bandits just made us laugh for hours! But not because of something that happend or they did. If you break it down into 2 words Ga & Dai and think about Kilsin and that awesome Australian accent it actually sounds like Good (Ga) Day (Dai) and all we did for the rest of the session was constantly say Ga`Dai Mate. It just proves that the little things relating to Pantheon can create memorable moments.
Tommy G. I have posted detailed feedback on the majority of my testing sessions. There has been a healthy mix of constructive criticism, dissenting opinion, and well deserved praise. My favorite moment was seeing a reaction from Convo toward some of my feedback. Team VR is the real deal and it's a privilege to see all of the thought, care, and consideration that goes into their work.
Steven R. PA1, Session 2. Session 1 was just filled with wondrous awe. "Look at that!" “Look at this!" "I'm killing a spider. A Rat! Woohoo! Go Go Go!" Session 2 I found myself in a group with 4 complete strangers. Killing skeletons at the Thronefast ruins. Just chit chattin amongst ourselves and learning our character abilities. One of us was out looking for more skeletons to kill when one spawned right in front of us. Instantly, 4 of us spammed group chat with "POP!" I can't say the last time I was in a group in an MMO when everyone was keyed in on what was going on around them. And I can't say the last time anyone felt the need to say "pop" in a group. What an awesome feeling that was! 5 complete strangers. Having shared experiences from long in the past. Being brought forth into a new world. Bring that feeling back Pantheon!
